The ACLU of Washington has many wonderful interns who assist with our work. We would like you to meet some of them.
Korica Simon’s interest in civil rights developed out of a constitutional law course she took while still a business major attending university in Alabama. She took this newfound interest with her to work at a women’s resource center -- where her interest developed into a passion, prompting her to change from business to political science.
Two months ago, Korica moved to Seattle to start interning at the ACLU of Washington. She was especially attracted to the ACLU by our mission that supports a broad range of human rights. As a counselor on our Intake and Referral Line, she enjoys being able to assist people resolve their issues.
Now in her last quarter of school, she looks forward to graduation and being able to start a new chapter in her life. She hopes to embark on a journey of discovery and experience, especially in issues pertaining to poverty. She is looking forward to finding work with the United Nations or non-profit organizations that deal in foreign aid.
The transition from Alabama to Washington has been a pleasant one. When she is not taking online courses, Korica is outside, enjoying the last rays of Washington sun. She enjoys rock climbing and reading newspapers in her free time.
